Welcome to the home of the Bug Lady,
where pests and predators are always in
balance. Our philosophy is based on
Nature's ability to regulate insect
populations. Essentially, good bugs
eating bad bugs.

In our garden, we find splendor in all
the plants and insects we may encounter.
We value the tools nature has to offer
and work with the environment by using
these tools. Once you discover how many
good bugs are already at work in your
garden you will share our fascination
with the natural system. Take a look
around and discover what you too can do
to improve the health of your own garden
and how you can help protect the complex
ecosystem we live in.

Healthy
Gardens
Diversity is the
key to a healthy garden. The greater the population of
insects, animals and plants the better your garden is
protected against disease, pests and stress.

Biological
controls These are the animals and organisms
that occur naturally in our environment helping to keep
the pests in check. Some of these native predators and
parasitoids are produced commercially and are available
for you to apply in your home garden.

Companion
Plants Are plants that share a symbiotic
relationship with other plants and animals in the
environment. The use of companion plants has been a widely
accepted method to establish natural colonies of
beneficial predators around plants that continuously
suffer from particular pests. Why not set up your own mini
insectary?

Good bugs, Bad
bugs which is which? All bugs have their place in
nature. Not every creepy crawly you see is a pest. Please
review our insect identification page to find what is in
your garden.

Pesticides
Many insects such as aphids, whitefly, spidermite
and scale have developed resistances to many of the
pesticides available to home gardeners. Unfortunately, the
natural predators haven't developed the same resistance,
and when a pesticide is applied you are more often then
not killing all the good guys.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our company grew from the love of gardening and the
environment around us. We recognize that the beauty of a
garden does not just come from the varieties we grow but
also from the complex interactions between the plants and
insects.

We believe that proactive gardening leads to a better
understanding of the ecosystem and helps diffuse the fear
most people have about insects. We do our best to make our
products user friendly and fun. We foster the three R's of
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle when it comes to all of our business
practices. When you purchase products from us, you are more
than a client but part of our team helping protect our
environment.
